Dear Waterloo Region Climate Collaborative participants,

With both federal and provincial elections on the horizon, the time for collaboration is now!

Our next WRCC meeting will be a workshop on election collaboration, and we are reaching out to our network members with the message that we need your participation now more than ever. 

  • For regular attendees at monthly meetings: Can you bring along someone new from your organization?
  • For organizations without regular attendance: We hope you will consider attending this one; the more groups represented, the stronger we all are!  

We are aiming for more synergy, not more work! Here are our key questions for the workshop:

  • What is your organization already doing or planning to do to boost attention on climate policy in the lead-up to elections?
  • How can we better collaborate across the climate advocacy community to reach new audiences and achieve maximum climate impact on election outcomes?

Dr. Erin Dej writes via the Unsheltered Campaign:

Hi friends,

As many of you know, I’ve been doing research the last 4 years on misperceptions of homelessness in mid-size cities, including in Cambridge. The research has all come together by way of a documentary called Bridging Divides: Voices & Visions on Homelessness in Mid-Size Cities. The documentary explores the issue of homelessness, safety, and belonging by showcasing voices from diverse backgrounds, including conversations with individuals with lived experience of homelessness, service providers, business owners, and law enforcement.

We are holding a screening and panel discussion on 18 November 2024 from 7:00 – 8:30 at the Old Post Office Library (12 Water Street South) in Cambridge. It would mean so much if you were able to attend. As you know, Cambridge is struggling right now, so this conversation is more important than ever.

The panel discussion is going to feature Dr. Laura Pin, as well as Marjorie Knight and José de Lima, so you know it’s going to be a great conversation!

You will find all the details in the poster below and in case you’re able to share on any of your social media. All the details are at Wilfrid Laurier University website.

Thanks everyone!

Erin
